Read the flower dissection procedure and using your flower diagram, locate all of the parts you will be identifying on your diagram.
List those parts in your notebook and describe the function of each of those parts in your notebook.

9. Next Step...
After your team is familiar with the parts of a flower and you have a good understanding of the crime scene and background information… you will identify the flowers from the possible suspects’ delivery order using the dichotomous key given.
Two flowers are located in Room 2512 and two flowers are located in Room You must correctly identify them in order to get them stamped by a teacher before you travel to the next room.

10. Finally…
Once your team has correctly identified or “validated” (by teacher’s stamps) the identity of the four flowers, obtain an evidence card from one of the teachers.
As a team, use all the evidence gathered to draw a conclusion on who the local sheriff should arrest for the murder of Wyatt Grisly. Write a cohesive paragraph citing specific scientific evidence on which to base your claim. Your summary will be sent to the Oregon State Police so make sure that it is presentable.
